I worked a dead end job for nearly 3 years. It was actually hard to leave because I was very very content. I had to work hard (most of the time), but I enjoyed my work. The pay sucked. No room in the shop to move up unless a higher up quit, wich wasnt very often. Lived in a messy, small, dirty duplex with my roomate at the time who also worked with me. But everyone who worked there was a good friend and we had a good time workin there. Made enough money to survive and go out on the weekends. Work was actually fun. Life outside of work was fun. I was content for a good while, but I realized if I stayed there I would probably stay the same for the rest of my life. No growth (I mean growth in a personal sense, not necassarily in a financial or economical sense). After I realized that, I took the first opportunity I had to move on.
